Bottom Line
The Staybridge Suites is an upscale apartment hotel with a prime location on Liverpool's Kings Waterway. It's geared towards longer-stay guests, and each apartment-style suite has a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering, and lounge area with satellite TV for nights in. Smartly decorated with wood floors, stainless steel appliances, and simple furnishings in warm wood and earth tones, the apartments feel modern yet cozy. There's a real emphasis on creating a warm, welcoming feel, even extending to social evenings for guests to meet. There are cheaper options -- Holiday Inn and Campanile hotels are nearby -- but for excellent value, especially for long-term stays, this is a solid choice.

Scene
Clean-lined, contemporary facade with welcoming, homey atmosphere
The "home away from home" cliché is one that many hotels band about but often don't really deliver on -- that can't be said of the Staybridge Suites. Despite its contemporary glass and modern redbrick facade, once guests climb the steps to its first-floor lobby it's clear much effort has been made to bring a homey ambience to the place. Plaid carpets alternate with wooden floorboards, and clusters of comfy armchairs and couches sit beside a log-fired fireplace built from reclaimed bricks. A cozy lounge also provides a snug space to relax with a small library and TV, while a downstairs kitchen provides free coffee and snacks throughout the day. Thanks to the all this homeyness and the self-catering accommodations, the property tends to attract attract both business and leisure guests who are planning on staying more than a couple days -- rates also favor long-term stays.
